User Ratings

The Author, Brad Pilon is a bodybuilding athlete that was particularly interested in finding ways to lose body fat without damaging muscle.

His experience in the diet supplement industry and his exposure to internationally renowned nutrition specialists allowed him to have access to high-tech physiology equipment which he used to run multiple body composition tests on top athletes and bodybuilders. Brad started studying intermittent fasting for his research during graduate school; Eat Stop Eat is a book based on over 240 peer-reviewed studies published in Medical Journals Worldwide.

Many people get “sucked in” to the obsessive nutritional regimen that accompanies natural bodybuilding, which at some point results in the measuring, cooking and timing of meals to take over their lives entirely. Their social life, the amount of time they have available, the money they are spending on special ingredients and, ultimately their emotional state goes on a downward spiral. This has led a lot of people to wonder if there could possibly be an easier option, which is why the Eat Stop Eat diet is so attractive.

How This Fasting Method Was Discovered

The Author, Brad Pilon, started studying intermittent fasting for his research during graduate school. After obtaining his degree he started working for the diet supplement industry and traveled to Europe and Asia to meet with internationally renowned nutrition specialists. He designed some very popular supplements which are still being sold by the companies he worked for.

Being a bodybuilding athlete himself, he was particularly interested in finding ways to lose body fat without damaging the muscle. His work in the industry allowed him to have access to high-tech physiology equipment which he used to run multiple body composition tests on top athletes and bodybuilders. He subsequently left the industry to pursue graduate studies in human biology and nutritional sciences. The book is based on over 240 peer-reviewed studies published in Medical Journals Worldwide.

Does It Work?

The results are scientifically proven. The scientific data and logic to support Brad Pilon’s work appears to be accurate. The author explains in his book that during a 24 hour fasting session there is an increase in growth hormone, insulin levels are low, cortisol levels are balanced and the adrenal glands function well. These factors put together, plus the reduction of the overall weekly calorie intake, make people lose body fat without losing muscle mass. There is also an increase in testosterone levels, which is helpful for muscle growth.

Other reported benefits are that it:

Does not cause crankiness or low energy

Leaves you free to eat what you like on non-fasting days

Does not affect workouts negatively

Improves your metabolic rate

Increases growth hormone levels

Does not require the use of costly supplements, cleansers or laxatives

Although the fasting plan is very simple, the author advises not to try intermittent fasting without having read the book, since this particular style of intermittent fasting is unique.

Some of the publications and TV exposure which have given the program positive reviews:

Independant Studies on Intermittent Fasting

Research indicates that the medical profession does not view intermittent fasting in a bad light. It makes sense that intermittent fasting is not damaging to the body, as in the prehistoric age there was no guarnetee that food would be available at every four hour interval, and so it stands to reason that the human body is designed to accommodate for this.

Eat stop Eat Reviews

Many people reported online that they finally felt freed from the mental addiction to food. Bodybuilders who had followed strict ‘bodybuilder style nutrition’ for years, reported that it was a relief for them to do away with “such a difficult, restrictive, expensive and time consuming way of eating.”

We did not find negative comments from people that had actually tried it, but only from people that were skeptical about fasting on the whole.

Here are some intermittent fasting reviews from people that have tried it, taken from the company website:

Greg Redfern

I am a physical therapist, and follow nutrition research closely. I purchased your e-book. Usually, I have been unimpressed with the literature/programs that I see, but when I read your book, the logic and science behind the program clicked for me.

Scott Smith

I really feel like this is something that I will do for the rest of my life. Since I have a family history of Diabetes I feel like that it might give me some protection against that.

Louis Ressler

I’ve experienced a complete paradigm shift in my relationship to food. I know it sounds cliche, but I truly do no longer “live to eat,” but rather “eat to live.” It’s incredibly liberating.

Denise Nelson

Hi Brad, I’ve been following the ESE lifestyle since it came out in 2007. I will not go back to my compulsive eating again. No more good & bad foods. No more thinking about food more than living life. Life is more than food & getting enough protein (loved the book by the way). That is what this ESE is about. The flexibility of fasting to control calories is just an added bonus.

Dr. Geoff Dover – Gainesville, Florida

I could not believe how much free time I have now on my fasting days. The biggest problem I had on my first day of fasting was not that I was too hungry, but I was too bored.

Dr. Patrick Lowry

I am now down to my target weight and eat almost freely on my eating days. It is a real pleasure to be able to eat almost anything that I want without guilt. My physical health has dramatically improved. I have not even had a cold for the last three years.

Roland Fisher – Personal Trainer

I’m a trainer and deal with more false information each day than I thought I ever would in a month. One such “truth” is that people just cannot gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. Not only is it possible, I’ve done it with people for years now, with the program it is easy, ridiculously easy.

Reported Side Effects

We were not able to find any peer-reviewed medical studies that reported negative side effects of intermittent fasting. The main negative aspect of the system depends on your goal in terms of build. This kind of eating regimen appears to promote a lean build and defined muscles, and is not ideal for those looking for a big, bulky build. See Brad Pilon’s photo to get a better idea of the proposed build.

Some people have reported mild to medium strength headaches during the fasting days and this could have something to do with the level of accumulated toxins in the fatty tissue. Irritability has been reported and also bad breath.

Another negative aspect is that instead of eating normally during the rest of the week, people might binge and this is not healthy.

On the whole, in our opinion, Brad Pilon tends to brush off any physical or psychological side effects of the initial fasting days a little too easily, probably because over the years his body has become accustomed to fasting. It is fair to say that people might experience some initial reaction but that within a few weeks the body will adapt. Younger people will probably adapt more easily than older people, but once the body has ‘learned’ how to handle intermittent fasting, then this eating regimen is reportedly safe.

Backed by leaders in muscle building and fitness like Bodybuilding.com and Leangains.com, and used by stars like “The Rock” and Hugh Jackman (Wolverine from X-men), IF (intermittent fasting) has been proven time and time again to give the most to any workout. Thought the term fasting remains a somehwat scary thing to the uninformed, it might surprise you to know the details are exactly the opposite. Something that might help is reading what it was like for one man who wrote about his own experieces with IF and while the IF method he chose is one of many, you are able to choose which days you fast, and for how long.

The majority of us wake up in the morning anything but a “morning person” and we seek that nectar of the Gods that will spur us into motion and get our grey matter processing faster so we can start our day. The naturally cheerful morning people are usually a nuisance to those of us who require a cup of coffee to become any semblance of normal before we have a conversation. Diets that require us to cut out our morning jolt can be a real problem, because even if it weren’t for the slight caffeine addiction, it’s something we enjoy. The taste of freshly brewed coffee, the aroma, the tingle on our tongues as the first sip goes... more»

We’ve heard these all before, and we just believe it to be fact simply because the globe passed the word around enough. More and more, scientific studies and scholars have taken to proving these well heard stories to be nothing but myths, leaving our society in much better shape in more ways than the obvious. It has led to an obese society with chronic problems dealing with thyroid disease, insulin resistance leading to diabetes and leptin resistance, effectively keeping us unhealthy. Let’s debunk some of these long standing myths right now.Low intensity exercise burns more fat this is untrue, and so easily proven that it’s... more»

Many people intent on getting the most from their workout at the gym will go with protein powders and supplements to boost the amount of muscle gain they achieve with each lift. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with protein powders for the extra push, there’s a healthier way to build muscle without taking in unneeded excess calories you then have to burn off. Using intermittent fasting as a tool for bodybuilding is far more effective and won’t leave you feeling bloated and tired after a long session. The idea behind fasting programs is simple. It involves not eating past supper time, and waiting until mid-morning to eat... more»

There’s always two sides to every story, an opinion, a misrepresentation, and the truth, which always lies somewhere in the middle. Nothing holds more true with diet myths than this statement. Perhaps the most long lived and best known is the starvation mode idea. Exactly when it was determined is lost along a timeline somewhere, but the suggestion is that when you don’t eat, even as much as skipping one meal, that your body goes on red alert into starvation mode, turning everything you eat, magically into fat. This has been debunked so many times as a myth, and yet the rumor continues to circulate in the diet world. Perhaps... more»

One of the largest factors in choosing a diet or nutrition plan that will work for you is it’s potential impact on your lifestyle. If you don’t have the time to devote to it, and it requires quite a bit of it to see results, then it’s not likely one that you can use, sending you searching for another answer that will. The perk with fasting methods, in relation to fitting into a busy lifestyle, is that it fits in when you want it to. You get to choose which hours you’re not eating, and when you want to take a meal. If the best time for you is to stop eating at bedtime, and to not eat again until late afternoon when you... more»

We all have fantastically busy lives, and one of the hardest parts of dieting and exercise is finding a way to fit it into our schedules. Some claim to be low impact but still require you to count calories or points, write down what you eat in a journal, blog entries, or being active on a dieters forum. That’s not even taking into consideration the ones that ask you to attend a gym up to 3 times a week. Most of us would have a hard time fitting everything in, even if we were our own bosses and had plenty of time on our hands. Thanks in part to the Eat Stop Eat Review this added pressure is a thing of the past. It’s a happy fact that... more»

Ask any overweight woman anywhere about dieting and she will tell you how many diets she has tried and the names of them, what she was “forced” to endure while on this diet, and how long it took before she realized it’s just not working. Every woman has a story. Some men too! It’s a fact that women spend a lot of time on the web looking for that perfect diet or that perfect diet supplement. The truth is there is no such thing. Not really. Dieting in the conventional sense of the word is dangerous and a stupid choice. They are usually fad diets that people make up and post as the latest and greatest but require that you completely cut out... more»

We did a little research on social media and discovered that there are certain questions which crop up time and again. We went and saw how Brad Pilon has answered them on social media and blog posts. Here are the main Eat Stop Eat diet questions, their answers and some basic concepts:What happens if I get hungry? Well, nothing happens if you get hungry, you just … get hungry! What is very interesting about a 24 hour fast is that you are able to understand when you are really hungry (because your body needs food) or when you are “hungry” for psychological reasons. A lot of people get “hungry” around meal times. This is not because your body... more»

There are so many ways to lose weight and or gain lean muscle mass. There is the usual way of strict dieting which would include counting calories, weighing the food while raw, restricting the amount you eat to less than child sized portions, restricting WHAT you eat but cutting out essential food groups like grains and starches, fats, sugars and dairy. All the while, you are also hitting the gym harder than you hit the books when you realized you forgot all about a major exam the next day! That is option one. Then there is option two. Doing everything exactly the same as listed above, but not doing any form of exercise. Or you can go for option... more»
